Langley crash sends 1 to hospital

Darpan News Desk , 05 Sep, 2023 10:56 AM

On Tuesday just before 3:00 am, Langley RCMP received reports of an impaired driver operating a red motorcycle in the 20300 block of Fraser Highway. As officers were arriving to the area a witness directed them to Logan Avenue near 200 Street where the driver was found lying on the side of the rode and a red motorcycle was in the ditch.

Emergency Health Services responded transported the driver to hospital with serious injuries.

Logan Avenue between 200 and 204 Street remained closed for just over 6.5 hours as Langley’s Criminal Crash Investigation Team (CCIT) and the Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service (ICARS) attended to investigate.

The investigation is in its early stages and remains ongoing. Although all of the contributing factors have yet to be determined, alcohol is believed to be one of them.
